women chose the democrat john greg. north carolina was one of two states president obama won in '08 and didn't win this time around. mitt romney won north carolina by three points this year but if you asked north carolina women, they prefer barack obama thank you very much. romney barely won the state overall because he had big enough numbers with men to make up for it but lost among north carolina women. they did not change their preference from 2008. they voted for president obama again this year. this might have happened in other states. we only had it for 31 states, not 50. i think due to financial reasons. we don't know what happened to the other states it's a tragedy because we mine this data for many deficit reasons and we won't ever have complete exit polling data for the country, 31 states. what is clear from the data we do have, republicans really really lost women and lost them badly. where republicans lost elections it is extraordinary poor performance with women voters. even when they're winning, the weakne
